================================== IPsec: Setup Windows Remote Access ================================== .. contents:: Index Here you can see the configuration options for all compatible VPN types. We assume that you are familiar with adding a new VPN connection. The tests were done with Windows 7 and 10. All screenshot were taken from **Network and Sharing Center->Change adapter settings**. --------------------------- Step 1 - Install Certificte --------------------------- Since Windows 7 also supports IKEv2 we need to install your Root Certificate Authority. Hit the Windows Start button and type *mmc* in search box. Go to **File->Add/Remove Snap-In**. Choose **Certificates->Add->Computer account**. Open **Certificate** and navigate to **Trusted Root Certificate Authorities**, right click, **All taks** and import. Select the Root CA and install. If you are using client certificates for authentication (e.g EAP-TLS) use a PKCS12/PFX and install it under **Personal** instead of **Trusted Root Certificate Authorities**. All included certificates will be installed in the correct folders. .. image:: images/ipsec-rw-w7-cert.png :width: 60% --------------------------- Step 2 - Add VPN Connection --------------------------- Add a new VPN connection via **Network and Sharing Center** and choose as **Internet Address** the correct FQDN. This is imporatant when using certificates since the FQDN of your connection and the one in the certificate has to match! Then set a **Username** and **Password** and leave **Domain** emtpy. ------------------- Step 3 - Finetuning ------------------- Via **Network and Sharing Center** go to **Change adapter settings** and open the properties of your newly created adapter. Check that the FQDN is correct: .. image:: images/ipsec-rw-w7-1.png :width: 60% On tab **Networking** in IPv4 configuration under **Advanced** is the option **Use defaut gateway on remote network**. If this option is enabled, all traffic will be sent through the VPN (if IPsec SA matches). When unchecked, you have to set specific routes sent via VPN. .. image:: images/ipsec-rw-w7-2.png :width: 60% ---------------------------------- IKEv2 + EAP-MSCHAPv2 or EAP-RADIUS ---------------------------------- .. image:: images/ipsec-rw-w7-eapmschap.png :width: 60%
